Hrubovodské sutě is a protected area in Hlubočky featuring rock formations, cliff faces, and diverse geological structures across a compact landscape. The varied rock types create multiple zones with different conditions for plant and animal life.
The area was designated as a nature reserve in 2001 to protect its diverse geological structure and the species living there. This official status marked the beginning of focused protection for this particular landscape.
The reserve lies in the Nízký Jeseník forest region, and its name refers to the scree slopes by Hrubá Voda. The protected stands are beech, fir-beech and scree forests of the 4th and 5th forest vegetation zones. The reserve largely overlaps with the Údolí Bystřice Site of Community Importance (CZ0714772).
The reserve lies by Hlubočky in the Olomouc district, and its territory largely overlaps with the Údolí Bystřice Site of European Importance (CZ0714772). Protection covers the 4th and 5th forest vegetation zones of the Nízký Jeseník, so stay on paths through the beech and scree woodland.
The cliff faces here formed through natural erosion over long periods and now create habitats found nowhere else quite like this. These special geological conditions allow rare plants and animals to thrive here.
